Lyrics
Reckless
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Only a fool would step away from this
The song so sweet on the siren’s lips
How do you lie straight with a viper’s tongue?
I’m at a loss to explain
Just how easy you found me to replace
Now that the naked truth is out on display
Could you explain why did you gravitate
To somethin’ about to break
Take what you need to take
Just silently walk away
How could you be so reckless?
Can you explain
How could you be so reckless?
Three time lucky, you might admit
See and speak and hear no evil
Guess I thought I could just keep stumblin’ back in
I’m at a loss to explain
Just how easy you found me to replace
We were free fallin’ out into nothin’ anyway
Could you explain why did you gravitate
To somethin’ about to break
Take what you need to take
Just silently walk away
How could you be so reckless?
Can you explain
How could you be so reckless?
Can you explain
How could you be so reckless?
Three time lucky, you might admit
How could you be so reckless?
Only a fool would step away from this
How could you be so reckless?
We were free fallin’ out into nothin’ anyway
